Christmas Special

It鈥檚 time for Amanda鈥檚 festive soiree (dress code: tinsel and tiaras), and nothing says Christmas like evil Santa, Anne鈥檚 Christmas cocktails and a ban on dark drinks indoors.

In Motherland, Christmas comes but once a year, and thank God for that, because it鈥檚 time for Amanda鈥檚 annual festive soiree (dress code: tinsel and tiaras). Nothing says Christmas like evil Santa, a 30-foot Christmas tree, Anne鈥檚 Christmas cocktails and very strict rules about where you can and can鈥檛 drink mulled wine.

Only Meg has an official party invite, but Julia, Kevin and Liz tag along as her plus-threes. They struggle to fit in with the Alpha crowd, but for Julia, it鈥檚 still a welcome distraction from playing festive butler to a house full of in-laws. Meanwhile, Liz is trying to ignore Christmas altogether, whilst Kevin is single-handedly stuffing, wrapping, roasting, parboiling, laying up, washing up and decorating himself into an early grave.
